Tobias was at a loss for words.
“You don’t need to be troubled, Mr. Chambers,” Neil said with a smile. “There are many illegal businesses in
Southern Aciatic that are thriving! So, as long as it’s a profitable venture, it’s all good!”
“Absolutely!” Tobias became enthusiastic. “Didn’t I mention that the land belongs to the Thompson Group? They
wanted to build a film studio, but I personally believe it’s better suited for a residential area. It will definitely be
valuable in the future!”
“So, they disagreed with your proposal?”
“Sigh… That foolish Nicholas spoils his wife when he’s not out fighting. He knows nothing about running a business!”
Tobias’ tone was filled with disdain, and Neil felt angered as he listened. “So, Mr. Chambers, did you take it for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyourself then?”
“Not… exactly.” Tobias felt his lips dry. “Bro, the film studio occupies a large piece of land. It’s not like anyone would
notice if I used some of it for houses. Does that really count as stealing?
“Besides, it’s a way to make a fortune! Who wouldn’t want to make money? This piece of land isn’t even in the film
studio’s blueprint! Nicholas probably forgot about it. What’s the harm in using it?”
“Ha, but I heard he was planning to build an orphanage,” Neil said.
Neil glanced at Tobias, exuding a cold and overbearing charisma even through his sunglasses.
Tobias lowered his head and admitted, “Yes… I know, but what’s the point of building an orphanage? It doesn’t
generate money. They’re just throwing money away. Only Nicholas would manage to run a loss-making business!”
“Um… Sir, is there anything else the CEO would like to ask?” Gia interjected, impatient to proceed. She had
prepared the agreement and pen. “Let’s sign the agreement if there are no more questions!”
“Yes, yes!” Tobias checked his watch and smiled. “I checked with a psychic today. The lucky time is from 1:00 p.m.
to 3:00 p.m. It’s the perfect time! Let’s sign the agreement now!”
“Wow, Mr. Chambers even checked with a psychic?”
The elegantly dressed woman got up and raised her left hand at that moment.
Neil hurried toward her and extended his right hand.
Aurelia gracefully placed her left hand on Neil’s right hand and walked over slowly, swaying her body like a visiting
queen.
Tobias and Gia were stunned. So, this CEO… could speak in their language?
“I understood everything you just said,” she said, removing her sunglasses halfway. Her playful smile and doe eyes
were captivating. “So, Mr. Chambers, you checked with a psychic before coming here?”

“Oh… Yes!” He grinned foolishly. “I did, I did!”
“Then, did you check if today is a good day to end up behind bars?” Aurelia asked.
“What?”
Aurelia and Neil dropped their pretense, removing their sunglasses simultaneously. They wore cryptic smiles as
their eyes bore into Tobias.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chambers. It seems we can’t work together after all!”
“What do you mean?” Tobias asked.
As soon as he spoke, a commotion broke out outside.
The door swung open, and several police officers walked in.
“Tobias Chambers?” One of the police officers said, “You’re suspected of embezzlement, illegal profit-making, and
fraud… Please come with us now!”
